In further move to ensure compliance with traffic rules and regulations, the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Enforcement Unit (Taskforce), on Monday, November 4, confiscated 70 vehicles for violation of the state traffic law as amended.
The vehicles, according to a statement by the Taskforce spokesman, Gbadeyan Abdulraheem, were impounded in coordinated operations carried out at locations where reckless traffic violations by commercial transporters cause avoidable traffic congestions and general public nuisance.
The exercise/enforcement was carried out at Okuta road junction, Bariga, Oba Akran road by Kodesoh under the bridge, Ikeja and Ladipo (Five Star area), along Oshodi-Apapa expressway
Warning motorists in the habit of traffic recklessness, the Taskforce Chairman, CSP Adetayo Akerele, reiterated that the agency under his stewardship would not allow any breathing space for violators of environmental and traffic laws.
He pointed out that it is only when citizens cooperate and obey relevant laws that environmental sanity, safety and security of the citizenry could be improved on and preserved.
CSP Akerele further said that the Agency would not tolerate or surrender to any indiscipline being perpetrated by any lawless motorist, as traffic logjam is not natural but a product of recklessness on the road.
